Street Vibes

Recently I've been looking at articles relating to street culture, the "ghetto", and ways in which urban culture is changing our day to day existence.

Everyone has a stereotype of what 'street culture' is, I like to think of it as a platform expressing personal appearance, I've walked around Shoreditch many times and the diversity of fashion, art, and culture is so inspiring.

Below are some images from a recent project.

Throwback to an old Project..

Okay I'm going to be honest, I've slacked a lot and its only been a week! Thank you to all for the lovely emails and messages complimenting my blog.
I have been recently working in preparation for London Fashion Week, working in Studio and with PR teams organising some awesome shit for our clients during their London Fashion Week shows - 4 weeks Friday! I have a post already lined up for this, so stay tuned!

Now to show one of my all time favourite projects. This was an extension of my A-level work. A-levels are very boring, very dry, and can be very uncreative to what I'm used to. I decided to carry on my own project, the outcome has been great!

I'm not one of those that will write 20 paragraphs telling you what my work is when you can already see it for yourselves - so check it out!

Shiny

When my Gran dug out some photos of my mum's childhood I was keen to discover more about the things she witnessed on a day to day life. I have recently been obsessing over TV adverts from the 60's and 70's - everyone was so much more playful and unconscious of what they looked like, life was happy as many say!
The colour in the TV adverts, commercials (what ever you want to call them) was very dull which led me to experiment with enhancing colours and taking inspiration from modern TV colour today, as well as contrasting the dull colours from the 60/70's.

Peruvian Vibeszszsz..].[..]..[[

Today I'm showing you some sketchbook pages from a recent project I've done based on Peru. Colour, texture, and graphics's is the fundamental base to this project - oozing innovative techniques and unusual references.

I started to look at primary images collected from Peru, women's outfits, craft, textiles and surrounding environments. This has influenced my idea of colour and the juxtaposition of fabrics.

Silhouette and print research.

Contrasting effects of print and texture.

Further research and development - MORE ILLUSTRATIONS!

Day to day life.

I started to use techniques such as making silicone fabrics by melting plastics and moulding them into exciting, unusual shapes.

My mini collection of Peruvian garments is now complete, a post will be coming soon showing modern plastics in all its glory!

Turkish Overload

September 2013 I made my annual pilgrimage to work for London based designer Bora Aksu, I've worked for Bora and the team for numerous seasons and its such an honour to work for such an established label which has such a premier position at LFW.

The collection was based on his childhood and his memories of holidays on the calming Aegean coast (Turkey). The collection was rich in detail with delicate knitting, hand crochet, silk painting, and contrasting fabrics, all which resembled Turkey and more about Aksu.

Rich in Details and colour...

My friend and I decided that we should try Turkey and see the richness of detail and art ourselves. We recently just got back and we have pictures to share! 

As I mentioned previously I illustrate a lot, and holidays are no exception - below are illustrations and places which we found inspiring. 

 Putting prints into practise!                              

After buying lots of traditional Turkish fabrics/textiles I started to use the prints as a starting to point to generate ideas for new, innovative prints and ideas for how these can be put into practise.

Current Inspiration...

Silhouette Inspiration...

Inspiration comes from everywhere, regardless how creative someone is, we all admire someone or something.

Recently thanks to my Grandmother, I have been inspired by old family photographs. I love the charm which photos hold, the character, and the buzz it must have felt like when the photo was being taken.

I'm a fashion student and I'm inspired by literally anything. It's important to have a clear open mind and not to search for inspiration, but let the inspiration find you, which is what exactly happened with these photographs.

Innocent pictures of my Gran and mothers childhood has inspired the way in which i have been designing new garments, their love of flowers is what pushed my concepts further when recording observational studies of Turkish gardens whilst in Turkey 2 weeks ago (post to follow).

I have a passion for illustrating as you will see in many posts to come.
